people who are trying to cause disruption by engaging in inappropriate
harassment.
I think a lot of what is wrong in the world in general is the result
of people (including legislatures) constantly feeling like they need
to "do something about" whatever issue or problem people are getting
into a big fuss about at the moment... even doing something
completely ridiculous, or counterproductive, or actively harmful, is
seen as better than doing nothing. A lot of braindead legislation
has resulted from this impulse.
